Definition ∞ The GKR protocol is a cryptographic technique that enables efficient verification of computations. It allows a prover to demonstrate that a complex computation has been performed correctly without revealing the underlying data. This is achieved through a specific protocol that reduces the verification complexity.
Context ∞ The GKR protocol is a foundational element in the development of advanced zero-knowledge proof systems and verifiable computation. Current discussions often relate to its application in scaling blockchains and enhancing privacy-preserving technologies. Researchers are examining its integration with other cryptographic primitives to achieve greater efficiency and broader applicability in areas like private smart contracts and efficient data verification.
